I started with diabetes 6 years ago or shoudl I say I found out I had it then I probably have had itb a lot longer as can remember thinking what the heck is wrong with me?
We went out new years eve and I wore some shoes that gave me a blister, always had good healing skin but found was hard to heal the blister but went to chemist and bought soem special plaster that you left on and it healed your wound.... and it did , having been a Nurse I should have known then but thought nothing of it...carried on as normal then in June i began being thirsty and went to the Doctors who took a sample and three days later rang me up and said can you get down to the surgery your sugar levels are high , I asked how high but they would not say over the phone .....So down i went and was told it was 25 and was started on Metformin and i went on a strict diet for me..... gradualy I have had to have Insulin and am still on metformin and 1 Forxiga daily plus 25 mix of humalog in the morning and 50% mix of humalog in the evening as it is then I have my main meal.....
Has it altered me ? you bet it has I am angrier and say what i think instead of think what I say ....I get tired , grumpy and nasty and I HATE having diabetes.
